Collector of Jaxes
This Department is for tax income, including abatement credits and all pertinent detail in processing approximately eighty-three thousand ac- counts annually aggregating nearly $6,500,000.00. As the statement is rela- tive to four types of taxation for a specific year and collection progress of delinquent items pertaining to a few past years, the report is necessarily one of considerable classified description. Reduced to a minimum of detail for clarity and easy understanding we submit our report for year ending December 31, 1949.
